TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, you can apply for the Thailand Elite Visa while you are already in Thailand, no matter what type of visa you currently hold. Applicants need to provide certain documents, including a copy of their passport and a passport photo. There are also discussions regarding the financial requirements for married couples applying together and the necessity of filing a 90-day report.

and on that note we're done. The thai elite visa has an excellent customer support system in place that can answer your questions. Contact them IF you have questions.

I just applied for an Elite Visa 2 days ago. There is an office a couple miniutes walk from the sky train you can apply right there.

They need a copy of your passport, and one passport photo in addition to the application.

While I was there 2 people brought in their passport, and said they needed to do a 90 day report. They take your passport and do it for you.

Perhaps a harder look at the site will help. Married couples can obtain the visa for as little as TB800,000 vs total 1 million if purchased separately.

Tod, I can’t see clear from the explanations if the financial conditions apply to both, husband and wife, or can the wife come as a dependant ? Thanks for your help

@Guenter *******

just so we're clear there is ONLY one visa/extension type where people don't do 90 day reports and that's the 4 year SMART visa.

EVERYONE else does 90 day reporting.

You appear to be completely bonkers - nobody was entering into such a discussion. Blocked because I can't tolerate this much stupid in my day. Goodbye.

I am not willing to start a political discussion on archaic Immigration rules / laws in THA. Check the rules of the neighbour countries ! I live here because *home is where the heart is*

Yes. You can stay for up to 1 year without exiting, you need to report every 90 days when you do so. You do not need a new visa for 5 years. How is this inconsistent in the slightest? Though, it's worth noting 90 day reporting is very, very easy for Elite visa holders.
